Jury selection was set to get underway today for Nygard’s trial but has now been postponed to next week after a court heard some complainants aren’t expected to testify.

Nygard was originally facing eight charges of sexual assault and three charges of forcible confinement in the Toronto case.

Crown lawyer Neville Golwalla told Justice Robert Goldstein in a downtown Toronto courtroom today that three of the eight complainants in the case are not expected to testify.
